Ok, so I was watching my local news last night, and something about marijuana came up(like talking about how its so popular and the #1 street drug out there). Well then it continued on showing these ghetto ass druggys smoking weed out of like mini tin foil pipes and all this ghetto shit. I mean why do they have to be so negative? Why not show some clean people in a nice house taking a nice bong rip? Instead they have to show a dark area a black lighter a ghetto ass piece, I mean its ridiculous. People who who fall into the goverment shit because of this, and it pisses me off. Opinions?
either that or they show some kid who dropped out of highschool and is in a gang talking about how he smokes all the time. bad, bad bad....bad examples of stoner culture
They do that so that people think that IS the drug scene. It wouldn't turn so many people away to see a successful business man or woman sitting at home toking. The government and media wants to portray the darkest, dreariest, most shocking coverage to get people to think OMG, it's worse than crack.
i'm so sick of the bullshit. all these sites like freevibe, all these commercials like above the influence and shit. why arent they focusing on horrible drugs like crystal meth(which i tried because id never heard a negative word about it at the time...bad high worse comedown). heroin, crack, ice, and so many more dangerous drugs are out there...these people are just fucking retarded.
I just went to abovetheinfluence.com the other day. It was fun scrolling my cursor over the propaganda, cause they had a flash thing that made them into birds and little creatures. Seriously, go. Best 5 minutes you'll ever spend with a big site of blatant lies.
All though I dont agree that high school drop outs all turn to gangs instead of learning a trade or working honestly, its true some kids are retards, but the kids they show doing that on tv dont smoke pot all the time, thier busy with meth and crack n shit like that too, one thing Ive noticed about most kids I meet is, they have no clue how to take serious drugs in moderation, they just keep consuming them like crazy and act like they dont deserve the withdrawals n such later. fuck I hate it tho when they try to make something look worse than it is, god knows how many ppl Ive met with expensive houses/cars who smoke.
Ill tell you why. They dont want it to look like a clean thing to do. After all its... *bum bum bum*... DRUGS!!!
"Marijuana has some of the same cancer-causing substances as tobacco. One joint can deliver four times as much cancer-causing tar as one cigarette." i think abovetheinfluence.com needs better scientist
The worst above the influence commercial is the one with the guy sticking his fist in his mouth and they're like "Yesterday his friends told him to smoke some pot and he did. Today his friends told him to see if he could fit his whole fist in his mouth and he did." So ridiculous! I bust out my weed whenever I see those commercials!
